Mt. San Jacinto College Foundation presents their 2nd annual foundation gala "An Evening With Our Stars" 2/6 at 5:30pm at Wilson Creek Winery and Vineyards in Temecula.

Jennifer Aspen from FOX's "Glee" will be one of the five judges set to review the students competing for a MSJC Foundation scholarship.

About Jennifer Aspen: With an engaging personality, comedic wit and unquestionable talent, Jennifer Aspen breathes life and authenticity into every role she undertakes.

She has been a series regular on FOX-TV's "Party of Five," opposite Matthew Fox, where she played 'Daphne Jablonsky.' She was also a series regular on ABC's "Bob Patterson" and NBC's "Come to Papa." Jennifer most recently starred opposite Rodney Carrington in ABC's family comedy, "Rodney," and she recently filmed a role in New Line Cinema's "Mr. Woodcock," opposite Billy Bob Thornton, Susan Sarandon and Seann William Scott.

Aspen can credit her career as an actress to an early high school experience in Santa Cruz, CA during detention. She heard music and followed the sound to discover students who were auditioning for the play "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." She auditioned for the classic musical and, to her surprise, nabbed the lead role. Aspen went on to attend UCLA's School of Theatre, Film and Television, where she received a BA in Theatre.

Jennifer has had numerous guest-star and recurring roles on such shows as "Friends," "CSI," "Will and Grace," "The Agency," "Line of Fire," "The Lyon's Den" and "Karen Sisco."

She has also appeared in a number of feature films, including "Vanilla Sky," "See Jane Run," "The Others," "Changing Habits," "A Very Brady Sequel" and "Sometimes They Come Back?gain."

For the stage, Aspen made her professional debut in the Pasadena Playhouse production of "The Lion in Winter," opposite Broadway star Carol Cook. Additional theatre credits include "The Half Lives of Marie Curie," "The Love of a Nightingale," "Pieta," "The Water Engine" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

In her spare time, Jennifer enjoys road trips, dancing and photography. She resides in Los Angeles with her fiance and five pets.
